Greetings,

I tried to run Ethereal from the command line and got this result:

NetTechs-eMac:/dev kimy$ /sw/bin/ethereal

(ethereal:16862): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
NetTechs-eMac:/dev kimy$

Any ideas?

Try to execute /sw/bin/ethereal from the xterm (the terminal that
opens as soon as you launch X) it might tell you something useful.
ethereal might be trying to tell you something but not having a
console you cannot read it.


If the Fink package for Ethereal has some app launcher you can double-click on, the standard output of Ethereal is probably sent to console.log as is the case with other apps launched from the GUI. Check out console.log in /Applications/Utilities/Console.app (and be amazed at the amount of stuff various OS X apps spew out there).
